Chicken Tortellini Soup

This soup was created out of desperation.
I had chicken thawed and ready to cook but nothing else to stand along side it.
I was looking through The House of O'Brien website for inspiration and saw our Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup. I decided to make a switch/ I switched the sausage for chicken, the red wine for white wine, beef broth for chicken broth, and parsley for basil.
